The underlying theme of this song is questioning "the end"
Soupy starts off with an anecdote referencing hearing someones' name in a song and how it relates to the end of a relationship(The Movielife - Kelly Song).
"Bar Bands" was the last song on The Upsides.
"Hannah Hold On" by the Get Up Kids: I never asked to be sorry. If its over its over for sure, I don't regret that I didn't want to. Remember what all this was for..
"Janie's Got A Gun" I think is a meta reference to him talking to his mom about writing this song(His mom must be named Janie).
Then there's the ongoing references throughout the song about thinking about death and how messed up it is to be in that state of mind while you're only in your 20's..I believe Bar Bands was about this too, so that's probably why he referenced it.
Someone keeps putting on all of the sad songs
I keep singing along
The jukebox turns and I'm gone
I punched in all my quarters
Looking for the perfect swan song to walk out on
